One of this author's novels ends with a girl named Zina, who just had a child even though she is unmarried, going to the Russian Orthodox Church. That novel spends a few chapters talking about Ensign Chernenga and focuses on the idealistic zemstvo leader Shipov. This man also wrote a historical novel that begins with the Cossack Sonya going to discuss philosophy with his parents, focusing on Vorotynsvev fighting at  Tannenberg, which is the first of a series of four (*) novels divided into sections called "Knots." Another novel by this man follows a mathematician who is part of a project to create a voiceprint recognition system at the titular locale. Vera Gangart is an Uzbek doctor in another of his works, whose protagonist is cared for by her and the nurse Zoya. For 10 points, name this author of the four-volume The Red Wheel that wrote about Olga Kostoglotov in Cancer Ward, who also wrote The Gulag Archipelago. [Ike]
